Educational Programs

Equipping Students with Resources to Succeed

Working with libraries, school supplies companies, and schools across the country, we provide school supplies, books, scholarships, and other educational resources to students in need.
  • Since 2009, we have run numerous school and library regional book collection programs that have distributed over 15,000 books and school supplies to students in need. We formed major partnerships with Reach Out and Read, FlatRate Moving, New York University Langone Medical Center, Mount Sinai Health System, Bellevue Hospital, and the St. Barnabas Hospital Bronx.
  • In 2011, we began a national partnership with Adopt-A-Schools across the country that has provided $20,000 worth of school supplies to Title I schools across the country.
  • ​In 2013, we began partnering with Alliance Publishing to donate planners to needy students. Seven elementary schools were given hundreds of planners in the partnership's inaugural year.
  • In 2015, we began the ​U.S.-China Intercultural Exchange to pair students in the U.S. and China together to promote and cultivate mutual understanding across cultures. More than 200 grade school students participated in the program's inaugural year. The program was funded in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of State.
  • In 2022, we will begin accepting applications for the inaugural class of Kids Change the World Student Scholars, a program for students with high financial need and exceptional academic/extracurricular performance in KCW-supported educational programs.

Supporting Schools

We have worked with the Yulin Primary School in Anhui Province, China to support ongoing programs. The school enrolls more than 100 students and has several classrooms, a library, a computer lab, and outdoor playground facilities. Ongoing programs and renovations have been sponsored by grants from the U.S. Department of State.


​Educational Resources Database

In 2008, we launched the Educational Resources Database containing videos and worksheets of primary/secondary school content.

Postgraduate students who (1) have teaching experience and (2) are masters in their respective fields volunteer their time to make short 5-minute instructional videos on core concepts in science (biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology), mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus, statistics) and social studies/global history.

All Kids Change the World affiliates, volunteers, partner organizations, and programs have access to this database.
